Question Celestial Seasonings Fortune Cookies

Help! I swear I'm not going crazy. In the mid-1980's, while living in Denver, I know that Celestial Seasonings briefly sold flavored fortune cookies in area markets. I bought them at various King Soopers and I saw them elsewhere. Can someone please confirm this for me? Even the folks at Celestial Seasonings can't recall this. It might have been just a brief flirtation with this product or a special promotion, but I really do remember it. Can anyone else? I've got several people thinking that I'm out of my gourd.

They were called "Wish Biscuits" and I think they were produced by another company in Boulder, CO, not by
Celestial Seasonings. Inspired by Celestial Seasoning's packaging and style, they were also drizzled with white, dark, or mint chocolate. The fortunes were also pretty esoteric and whimsical compared to classic "Chinese" cookies.

Anyone have a picture of a "Wish Biscuits" box?
I think Jenneifer 8. Lee, author of "The Fortune Cookie Chronicles" (The Fortune Cookie Chronicles) would be interested. (I just read her book, and was looking for references to Wish Biscuits, and only found this question..."

Oh my goodness, those were adorable. I would never have thought of them unless someone else mentioned them. I still don't have any independent recollection of the name, but I do remember the cookies.

I forgot about those too! I worked for the Boulder Chamber of Commerce in the mid 80s and we used Wish Biscuits in promotions, gift baskets, etc. wselzer is correct that they were not a Celestial Seasonings product, but I cannot remember who made them. They were delicious. I bet I even have some of the "wishes" stashed away somewhere.
